I'm addicted to the Bond tunes on here:

Nice to see some Schiit Multibit DACs vs Delta Sigma DACs (in a DAP) comparison

Borrowing DraconicNerd's impressions of the BF2 OG/Midgard combo, I'm very intrigued with his impression of "solidity and tactility in the treble". Though he credited it to the amp, I personally believe that it was from Bifrost 2 OG itself and not Midgard since Midgard as an amp is pretty transparent of the sonic traits of the DAC feeding it. This statement about treble quality is what pulled me into the Schiit multibit house sound a long, long time ago https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hea...r-meet-january-20th-2023.971186/post-17931327

One last sound thing. I'd heard that some IEMs scale well with power to the level of desktop gear and I sought to test that. I hooked up my bravados using the Code 24 (non C) to the Schiit Midgard/Bifrost 2 stack and was somewhat blown away. This made even the Shanling M9+ sound mildly underpowered in controlling both the DD Bass and estat treble drivers. The technicals were also right up there with the flagship players, though I'd need a lot more listening to clearly place it above or below. On both the headphones and IEMs I tried on the midgard it gave a sense of solidity/tactility in the treble that I haven't heard in the same way anywhere else. Definitely going to be thinking about buying some desktop gear to use my IEMs with at my desk in the future. I guess my idea of building a very low gain speaker amp for IEMs isn't that stupid of an idea if the scaling continues up even a little .

Watching some of the more, let's say, prolific audio accessories manufacturers come up with new and … uhm … innovative product ideas always reminds me of this old The Onion classic:
F#@& Everything, We're Doing Five Blades

Edit:
Head-Fi even censors URLs that contain certain terms…

Many years ago Saturday Night Live did a fake commercial for a 3 blade razor, before such an item had been commercially produced by Gillette. A few years after the fake commercial the 3 blade razor appeared for sale to the public. It was revealed much later that Gillette had the 3 blade ready to go, but then waited a couple of years to release it after SNL ran the fake ad because... reasons.

I don't believe FedEx has any authority to register against your credit rating. It's not a financial institution and they don't offer credit services.

Any company, in any business, can choose to share bad expense information at a very specific customer level to credit reporting agencies (At least in the USA) Most companies choose to not do that do to time and expense (they will not recover their bad debit by listing with an agency). Regardless, I don't believe Fedx would have reasons to work with a reporting agency. If they do, you can quite easily have it removed when you point out that the transaction in question is disputed.

Anyway, good luck! Put on some good tunes and don't worry about a thing.

Listening to Coltrane’s “Africa/Brass” this evening. The Gungnir Multibit continues to surprise and impress me. Bigly. I had to put my book down, close my eyes and lose myself in the music (tube stage is engaged in the Freya with Japanese Raytheon’s in the right-hand sockets, ‘phones are AKG K712’s, HP amp is the Asgard 3, & slight tweaks via the Lokius). Holy Schiit, but this sounds like being in the room with the quartet. The drum sounds are so natural and you can hear the echoes from the room, giving shape and depth to the space.

We are both down for count for over a week. I've added Paxlovid rebound to my vocabulary.

Chance of rebound does not depend on taking Paxlovid:

Hope you guys recover soon. I don't know what it feels like to get Covid since I've never gotten sick or for almost a decade now.

There was a supposed "laser" razor on Kickstarter. Not sure if it was for real or not though, as it was suspended.

Hi Jason, I’m super-happy thank you.

With GaN chargers their switching frequency is much higher than normal SMPS chargers, and I’ve seen a video that comparatively demonstrated a massive reduction in noise.

For $30 it is worth a go.

These Gallium Nitride MOSFETs are HELLUVA EXPENSIVE!

I'm a big fan of Canare cables and connectors; all my interconnects and speaker & headphone cables are dyi Canare .....

The canare rca connectors are great to work with and easy to solder.

These are a sweet deal.
